Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer | Design-Led Building Services Consultancy, London (Hybrid Working) | Competitive Salary (£55k-£70k DOE) + Bonus + Private Healthcare + Chartership Support 

Join a Consultancy Where Your Expertise Will Shape Projects and Influence Growth 

An ambitious, design-led building services consultancy is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join its growing London team. 

Despite its relatively small size, the business has built an impressive portfolio of work across commercial, healthcare, education, hospitality and workplace sectors, delivering engineering, design management and technical advisory services for a range of prestigious clients and developments. 

This is an opportunity to join a consultancy where senior engineers are trusted with genuine responsibility, direct client engagement and significant influence over project delivery. You'll work alongside experienced Chartered Engineers, contribute to high-profile schemes and play an important role in the continued growth of a highly regarded engineering practice. 

The consultancy is built around a simple philosophy: engineering should be rigorous, practical and quietly intelligent. The team believes in straightforward communication, collaborative problem-solving and delivering technically robust solutions that create long-term value for clients. 

For engineers who enjoy the technical standards and project quality associated with larger consultancies, but want greater visibility, autonomy and influence, this opportunity offers the best of both worlds. 

Why This Opportunity Is Different 

Work Directly with Highly Experienced Founders 

Unlike many larger consultancies where directors become detached from day-to-day project delivery, the founders remain actively involved in every project. 

As part of a close-knit team, you'll work directly with Chartered Engineers who have built careers across consultancy, contractor and client-side environments. Their hands-on involvement creates a culture of continuous learning, technical excellence and collaborative delivery. 

Your work will be visible, and you'll have direct access to experienced mentors who are genuinely invested in both project success and your professional development. 

A Senior Role with Meaningful Responsibility 

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of projects and act as a key technical lead. 

You'll work closely with clients, architects, contractors and wider design teams, helping to shape solutions from concept through to completion. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, manage project deliverables and drive technical quality while remaining supported by an experienced leadership team. 

The consultancy values individuals who bring ideas, challenge convention and take a proactive approach to solving complex engineering challenges. 

Exposure to Landmark and Diverse Projects 

Despite its size, the consultancy delivers projects that many larger firms would be proud to have within their portfolio. 

Recent work has included: 

• Building services design management within one of London's most recognisable commercial towers 

• High-specification workplace environments for leading technology and cyber security organisations 

• Innovative healthcare facilities supporting advanced diagnostic services 

• Sustainable modular accommodation developments focused on performance and occupant wellbeing 

• Major office redevelopments and infrastructure resilience upgrades 

• Education and nursery developments supporting national expansion programmes 

Projects regularly involve: 

• Electrical building services design 

• Design management 

• Technical due diligence 

• Construction monitoring 

• Infrastructure resilience and power strategies 

• Sustainability and decarbonisation initiatives 

• Client-side technical advisory services 

This breadth of work provides exposure far beyond a traditional design role and allows engineers to develop a well-rounded understanding of project delivery. 

Opportunity to Influence a Growing Business 

As a growing consultancy, there is significant opportunity to progress and make a lasting impact. 

The business is looking for ambitious engineers who want to contribute not only to project delivery, but also to the continued development of the team and wider organisation. You'll have direct exposure to decision-makers and the ability to influence how projects, clients and technical standards evolve. 

The Culture 

This consultancy prides itself on being collaborative, curious and pragmatic. 

The team values technical excellence but equally recognises the importance of communication, commercial awareness and practical delivery. Engineers are encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas and challenge thinking where it leads to better outcomes. 

The business takes a proactive approach to engineering, seeking solutions before issues arise and maintaining momentum throughout project delivery. There is a strong emphasis on accountability, with individuals empowered and supported to take ownership of their work. 

Rather than creating unnecessary complexity, the team focuses on delivering intelligent solutions that work in practice. 

Engineers within the business describe the culture as one where people are trusted to make meaningful contributions, supported in their development and encouraged to continuously improve. 

The Role 

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll play a leading role in the design and delivery of projects across a diverse range of sectors, working closely with directors, clients and multidisciplinary design teams from project inception through to completion. 

This position offers a balance of technical design, project leadership and client engagement, making it ideal for an engineer looking to expand their influence beyond pure design delivery. 

Key responsibilities include: 

• Leading the electrical design of building services systems across multiple projects and sectors 

• Managing project deliverables through all stages of design and construction 

• Developing innovative and practical engineering solutions that balance technical performance, sustainability and commercial considerations 

• Coordinating with architects, contractors, project managers and wider consultant teams to ensure successful project outcomes 

• Representing the business in client meetings and technical discussions 

• Preparing and reviewing design calculations, reports, specifications and technical documentation 

• Providing technical oversight and quality assurance across project work 

• Supporting junior engineers through mentoring, guidance and design reviews 

• Contributing to project planning, resource management and programme delivery 

• Undertaking site visits and monitoring installation quality during construction phases 

• Helping to identify opportunities for continuous improvement in technical delivery and project execution
